RULES

Contest Opportunity

Contest Dates are announced by the race officers by 18.00 the day before the TTVK.seand TTVK Group on Facebook. If possible, it will be an "early warning" about the planned event. Normally this contest is announced only if the forecast indicates an average wind speed above 20 knots on the part of the day when people usually leave from work. The benchmark for the launch event is at least one windsurfer must be able to run faster than 30 knots per contest opportunity. Unless someone passing a 250 meter speed of 30 knots the race will be invalid.

The competition area

To enter the competition you have to sail in the area north of Tjolöholms Peninsula, east of the Onsala peninsula and south of Hanhals. See image on TTVK.se
